Famo Litt - throw away da key (feat. Factz)

First they put us in cuffs Toss us in jail and throw away they key
Choke us in the street
Lay me down ain't no tricks up my sleeve
Even try to do me dirty when I'm clean
And they wonder why I ride wit the steam
Man these niggas trying to take off da streets
Really trying to take me off the streets

They hit the lights just to harass me
Reach for my Id
They just might blast me
Search in my car but they did not ask me
I know they would love to put me in the backseat
kinda get scared when I see them lights flashing
Knowing that this could be my last week
We living in white ass America
It's kinda hard cause we really the black sheep
How can I be safe when I look like a threat
I thought that they job was to serve and protect
But not for me cause my skin tone is different
So you will never give us no respect
Ain't they wonder why we starting these riots
Acting a ass causing Civil unrest
Try to be peaceful
Try to be calm
It didn't work
So this What you get
They all not the same but some of them evil
Using they force
Some of it is lethal
They not afraid to kill us in public
Tell me again how am I equal
They get the dope then give us the dope
Lock your ass up
That shit illegal
This is a movie
Slavery one
Put u in prison
That's just the sequel

First they put us in cuffs Toss us in jail and throw away they key
Choke us in the street
Lay me down ain't no tricks up my sleeve
Even try to do me dirty when I'm clean
And they wonder why I ride wit the steam
Man these niggas trying to take off da streets
Really trying to take me off the streets
First they put us in cuffs Toss us in jail and throw away they key
Choke us in the street
Lay me down ain't no tricks up my sleeve
Even try to do me dirty when I'm clean
And they wonder why I ride wit the steam
Man these niggas trying to take off da streets
Really trying to take me off the streets

Niggas rub me wrong
I really don't trust them
My heart of stone
Im at these niggas like fuck them
I fuck these crackers any way I can fuck them
I'm ducking one two anyway I can duck them
Supposed to help us but they first wanna cuff us
They say you reaching
Tryna fuck you no rubber
When you in the system ain't no love for a brother
These niggas snitching acting real Danny Glover
My momma told me we will never be equal
Don't even stand up for our own people
Got us standing for the wrong leader
Tryna hit us with the wrong needle
But we don't really get along either
These niggas snaking for the wrong reason
While imma ball it is a long season
I pass the plate and tell em gone eat it
Never hold my niggas down
Keep my niggas up
Promise you we gone eat it
Watch I lay the money out
Stack the hundreds up
Blow it like we don't need it
Promise everybody come together cut the cap
We can pick up all the pieces
Promise everybody come together cut the cap
We could pick up all the pieces

First they put us in cuffs Toss us in jail and throw away they key
Choke us in the street
Lay me down ain't no tricks up my sleeve
Even try to do me dirty when I'm clean
And they wonder why I ride wit the steam
Man these niggas trying to take off da streets
Really trying to take me off the streets
First they put us in cuffs Toss us in jail and throw away they key
Choke us in the street
Lay me down ain't no tricks up my sleeve
Even try to do me dirty when I'm clean
And they wonder why I ride wit the steam
Man these niggas trying to take off da streets
Really trying to take me off the streets
